10:49 rue_bed I'm gradually working on the meaning of life
10:51 deshipu meaning is for the weak
10:52 rue_bed oh I know the meaning of life, I'm working on what I need to deal with it
10:53 rue_bed I'm not good at biology yet tho, which makes it hard
10:53 deshipu "please excuse us for all the inconveniences -- God"
10:53 rue_bed :)
10:54 deshipu the God dd what he could, not you have to call a specialist
10:54 deshipu did*
12:20 rue_house need to make a mockup finger so I can playw ith the cabling on it
12:22 deshipu use a sausage
12:22 deshipu put a chicken bone inside it
12:22 rue_house looking for a mix of plastic and metal
18:10 JEntrep why are there no good engineering channels on freenode? :(
18:11 veverak define good
18:11 veverak :)
18:11 JEntrep good discussions?
18:11 veverak eh
18:11 veverak usually on query to be honest :D
18:12 JEntrep what?
18:12 veverak JEntrep: I know very good engineer to be honest
18:12 JEntrep huh?
18:12 veverak but let's say that I doesn't like to stick on engineering channels
18:12 veverak because a lot of newbies come in
18:12 veverak and he is tired of answering basic questions
18:12 JEntrep so then let's create an engineering channel where newbies are not allowed
18:12 veverak *he doesn't like
18:13 JEntrep what kind of engineering does he prefer?
18:13 veverak it's IRC
18:13 veverak you need a lot of people
18:13 veverak for that channel to work
18:13 veverak :)
18:13 JEntrep so we create a private channel and invite people?
18:13 veverak which means a lot of work
18:13 JEntrep I know mathematicians, etc. on here that would join
18:13 veverak and I am satisfied with actual status
18:13 JEntrep setting up an IRC channel is not a lot of work
18:14 veverak so no reason to change something really
18:14 veverak no
18:14 veverak but making it work is
18:14 veverak :D
18:14 JEntrep that's because people don't ever cooperate >.>
18:14 veverak I mean, like making it so, that it's not dead, and there is actual communication
18:14 JEntrep maybe I will just resume my secluded work instead
18:14 JEntrep like everyone does
18:15 veverak well
18:15 veverak share it here for example
18:15 veverak :D
18:15 veverak it's not like channel have to be really good to be usable :P
18:15 veverak :D
18:16 JEntrep take too much work to share it everywhere
18:16 veverak I can understand
18:16 veverak hackaday.io ?
18:16 JEntrep no
18:16 JEntrep I am a natural elitist
18:17 veverak ?
18:17 JEntrep I don't share things with people I don't being shared with
18:17 JEntrep *I don't want being shared with
18:17 JEntrep it's a huge waste of time
18:17 JEntrep sigh
18:17 veverak not really
18:17 veverak it's sad
18:18 veverak but for humans, you usually finds quaility in quantity
18:18 JEntrep no
18:18 veverak and good filter of course
18:18 veverak but nah
18:18 veverak :)
18:18 JEntrep filtration is everything
18:18 JEntrep veverak, what are you interested in?
18:19 veverak robotics usually
18:19 veverak now it's mainly not working reprap i3
18:19 veverak want to make it work properly finally and move into another projects
18:19 veverak :)
18:20 veverak and in TODO is for example deshipus walking robot
18:20 veverak they are quite nice!
18:20 veverak :D
18:20 JEntrep walking robot?
18:20 veverak https://hackaday.io/project/6050-tote-affordable-spider-robot/log/19645-remote-control-with-esp8266-and-micropython
18:21 veverak JEntrep: he made project of walking 4 leg robot with really low price
18:21 veverak quite an nice work
18:22 veverak gn!
18:24 JEntrep veverak, why are you going?
18:25 veverak because it's 01:00
18:25 veverak for me
18:25 veverak :)
18:25 JEntrep I don't like that mini-robot project
19:02 rue_house hah, I'm not fond of it either
19:13 wolfmanjm My hexapod is run over wifi too, but as I have an edison on the bot it already has wifi, and I use MQTT for communication. But overall a similar idea.
19:38 rue_shop3 I need to work on my 18 axis again someday soon
19:44 SpeedEvil 18 axis, because 5 doesn't have enough slop
19:45 rue_house 3 axies per leg, because there should be atleast 3 axies in every leg
19:45 rue_house x6 cause its a hexapod
19:45 rue_house custom dc servos
19:48 Hyratel1 pics?
19:49 rue_bed guess: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/buddy_III/
19:49 rue_bed if I open up a web browser on this thing it wont forgive me for a half hour
19:53 rue_bed there are videos on youtube, search for ruenahcmohr
19:54 SpeedEvil rue_bed: Ah - I was assuming you meant in series
19:54 rue_bed series? 18 axies? freaking snake
19:54 SpeedEvil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtRpx57KqjY
19:54 rue_bed will open after nap
19:55 SpeedEvil I think it's hydraulit
19:55 SpeedEvil 10s
19:55 rue_bed is it titanboa?
19:55 SpeedEvil No.
19:55 SpeedEvil A walking hexapod tractor
19:55 rue_bed heh
20:08 wolfmanjm I like the gait, that is the one where there are at least 4 legs on the ground.
20:08 wolfmanjm tricky to program that one as you start to lift the second leg halfway through the other legs movement
20:09 wolfmanjm I have wave and tripod gaits implemented I need to add that one, I think it is called ripple gait
21:16 rue_bed hey now now
21:16 Hyratel1 hey now
21:37 rue_shop3 by swirl 360 apparently
23:10 Mr_Sheesh Many names. Much flood.
23:11 zhanx your fault
23:12 rue_shop3 ok z,
23:13 rue_shop3 I need to cable up a finger
23:13 rue_shop3 I cant show you the image I'm using cause right now its stuck on my computer
23:14 zhanx middle one?
23:15 rue_shop3 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:892654
23:15 rue_shop3 this is made for a really small hand
23:15 rue_shop3 I'd hoped that I could mod it into a motion capture
23:15 rue_shop3 more modding is reqd than I anticipated
23:16 rue_shop3 could make it a middle finger, I suppose
23:16 zhanx mine https://hackaday.io/project/5902-smart-home-controllers
23:17 rue_shop3 interface is looking less candy!
23:17 rue_shop3 more techno-col like it
23:17 rue_shop3 cool
23:17 zhanx well those are the code ones
23:17 zhanx 14k of oh so fun code :(
23:18 rue_shop3 you can put graphics on SD
23:18 zhanx i have hello
23:18 zhanx these are the tests for it
23:18 rue_shop3 sorry, exceeded flash reading limit
23:19 zhanx not yet thank god
23:19 rue_shop3 I meant me
23:19 zhanx working the linuxmce team also
23:19 rue_shop3 rue_house, buy more 3/16" dowel for me, dont ask why, just get lots
23:19 zhanx so they are a part of the system
23:20 rue_shop3 wow z, I'm really starting to get the hang of building anything with the reprap
23:21 zhanx nice make me an extruder
23:21 rue_shop3 but, they come cheap from china
23:21 rue_shop3 or you mean the drive mechanism?
23:22 zhanx drive
23:22 zhanx i am gonna make a delta bot
23:22 Jak_o_Shadows I was underextruding rue
23:22 rue_shop3 I been thinking it'd be nice to go to a linear jack style, there is lots of time for one to reset
23:22 Jak_o_Shadows possibly also too cold.
23:23 rue_shop3 Jak_o_Shadows, i told you repeated times to jack up the muliplier
23:23 Jak_o_Shadows yup, and it worked :D
23:23 rue_shop3 I have a printer ya know!
23:24 Jak_o_Shadows My prints still seem a bit crumbly along the layers, so i'm gonna increase the temp
23:25 rue_shop3 whats your mult at now?
23:25 rue_shop3 I need paint that dosn't need to dry so I dont have to wait for it to
23:25 Jak_o_Shadows 150%
23:26 rue_shop3 wholy crap
23:26 rue_shop3 mine varries, depending on the filament, between 105 and 110
23:27 rue_shop3 your not using 1.75mm filament on a machine set up for 3mm are you?
23:27 Jak_o_Shadows nup
23:28 rue_shop3 if you have to use 150% something is badly out
23:28 rue_shop3 somewhere
23:29 Jak_o_Shadows Funny thing is that Cura seemed to work pretty nicely.
23:34 Jak_o_Shadows zhanx: Have you ever, ever, gotten MythTV woring nicely?
23:40 rue_house I wonder if I can come up with some sort of ... ABS dust that can be melted onto a peice with some acetone vapour
23:40 rue_house finish coat in 6 mins
23:44 rue_house I got another $10 from the robotics kids-parents, starting to have issues finding things to spend it on
23:45 rue_house rue_house, buy more 3/16" dowel for me, dont ask why, just get lots
23:46 rue_house https://hackaday.io/project/478-realtime-neuron-simulation-on-8-bit-mcu rue_bed read that
23:52 Jak_o_Shadows My latest working piece: http://jak-o-shadows.github.io/picturedump/3dp/upperv3.jpg
23:52 Jak_o_Shadows Latest test cube: http://jak-o-shadows.github.io/picturedump/3dp/diag/4.jpg
23:55 rue_house hahaha
